French site MacG.co is under the impression Apple will make the devices available for sale later that week on October 24 or 25.

There's nothing concrete in the report, or leaked store inventories or anything like that, but the site does claim to have received the information from the same source that tipped it off about a recent iPod revamp. Make of that what you will.

Mac Pro D-Day

However, that's not all MacG's report has in store. It also claimed to know the release date for the eagerly-anticipated Mac Pro desktop tower, which boasts an intriguing cylindrical design and a wealth of power.

So far, Apple has only committed to a "fall 2013" release window, but the French site has pinpointed November 17 as D-Day.

Additionally the site is touting the expected iPad mini 2 and iPad 5 release date as October 31.
